2024 Map of Buckley NW

About this map

The North Fork Vermilion River meanders across this rural section of the Illinois prairie, following a winding path through the borderlands of Ford and Livingston counties. The landscape is primarily defined by a rigid section-line grid of rural routes, such as E 2200 North Rd and N 1400 East Rd, which delineate the expansive agricultural fields characteristic of the region. Near the northern boundary, the Brenton Cem serves as a significant landmark for genealogical research, situated just off Rte 115. Further south, the terrain includes Lake Lake, a notable water feature in a landscape otherwise dominated by drainage patterns and straight-line county roads like Co Hwy 13. This survey illustrates the persistent rural character and the enduring infrastructure of the central Illinois farm belt.
